Key points The volume's invited essays are presented as demonstrating the inspirational power of Thích Nhất Hạnh's teaching of "interbeing" as a focus for creating common ground within scholarship for voices not often heard, a phenomenology the abstract metaphorically likens to what Nhất Hạnh might call a "hugging meditation."

Abstract

Abstract: Interbeing is a foundational teaching of Thiền Sư (Zen master) Thích Nhất Hạnh, beloved Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist who has worked closely with Chân Không, an expatriate Vietnamese Buddhist nun. Together they founded Plum Village retreat center in the Dordogne region of France. This volume of invited essays – taken as a whole – reveals the inspirational power of the word interbeing as a focus for creating common ground within scholarship for voices not so often heard. Metaphorically, this phenomenology is what Nhất Hạnh might call a “hugging meditation.”
